changedI’ve been waiting a long time for a viable consumer ready VR system and as a game creator I could spend the rest of my life developing experiences for it. It’s fun, exciting and challenging all at the same time. Dawn of the Robot Empire is my 1st VR game. I’ve really tried to make the interactions feel as physical as possible to make it seem like you’re in the world and can interact with it. e.g. the laser pistol not only shoots; you can use it to “bash” enemies. An example of this is seen in the game trailer where you can ‘spear’ a robotic snake with your staff weapon and then bash it’s armored eye till it breaks. It’s something that you’ve probably seen in a fantasy movie or performed in another game by pushing an “action” button. But here you’re really doing it. The haptic feedback makes all those hits really connect. The HTC-Vive is the 1st device that IMO meets the minimum standard needed to create real VR experiences. Those controllers and the perfect tracking make my game possible. When you swing your arm to knock out the robotic snake you really are swinging your arm hard and fast. You're not having to hold back because of some limitation of the tracking system. I do plan to eventually support the Oculus Rift using the Touch controllers. However, it may be sometime before that happens as it's not clear when they will be available. Thanks.
